I purchased a pattern for one that sounds like it is what you want. If you are interested I can get it and give you the information off the pattern. Mine has a covered bag filled with child's play sand..that is used for a pin cushion as well. The bag is held open with that 1" wide purchased --can't remember the name of it..but it keeps the bag open at all times.
I don't know how to give you this information. Do we give out private email address?

pams and bellaboo.....
these are for sale at every show i was ever at. they cost from between $15 to $35, depending on where the show is and how close to closing time. they are great. they always have them on display, but of course never sell the pattern. i believe they are using plain sand for the filler. and of course you can't get the fabric choice you want. it certainly pays to do one yourself and show us a pic. btw, they use some kind of flat metal spring or something in the casing, but can't it be boning?
